### DimensionInfo Object

The DimensionInfo object acts as a container to hold individual dimension information in your report.

How to Use in a Label Template

From the Label Template editor's Object Bar, you can add and size a DimensionInfo object. Once you save the label template, you can use the Rule Tree Editor dialog box for a new or an existing report template to specify the dimensions for which PC-DMIS calls and displays that label template. For information on how to use the Rule Tree Editor dialog box, see the "About the Rule Tree Editor" topic in this chapter.

How to Use in a Custom Report

From the Custom Report editor's Object Bar, you can drag and drop a DimensionInfo object into the editor's canvas. The Dimension Info dialog box opens so that you can choose a dimension to associate with the object.

Dimension Info dialog box

From the dialog box, you can choose the dimension from the dimension list. Once you click OK, PC-DMIS displays a table on your report that contains the dimension information.

For complete information on how to use this dialog box to display dimension information, see "Inserting Dimension Info Boxes" in the "Inserting Report Commands" chapter.

Below are the properties specific to this object:

For most properties, you can set them from the Dimension Info dialog box. You can open this dialog box at any time with the (Settings Dialog) property.
